um sheff has 16 SB, to go along with his amazingness in the other 4 fantasy catgories. This is why he is ranked #1 in fantasy by yahoo. Sheffield all year has been the best fantasy player and the best 5 catrgory fantasy player

The problem with Beltran is that he is not much of a power hitter. He has 21 HRs, 7 3B, and only 8 2B. He only has 36 extra base hits. That's rather low for a "power" hitter. His SLG% is only .513 which is very low for a"power" hitter.

it all goes back to which 5 categories: Real or Fantasy. real is what was mentioned: average, power, running, fielding throwing. Fantasy is the categories in a 5x5 league: R, HR, RBI, SB, AVG. regardless, it's beltran for both in my opinion.

Exactly. Everyone here seems to be forgetting the fielding and throwing categories when talking about a 5-tool player. It seems fantasy has altered people's perception of an all-around ball player. In addition to Beltran's diverse fantasy prowess, he is a defensive stud.
